For brands, agencies, editors and venues
A stated price, from the actual rights-holder
License a track or a film from the person who owns it, at a price printed on the page, with the licence issued the moment the payment clears. No clearance labyrinth, no waiting until Monday.
The usual problem
You found the right track on Thursday and the deadline is Friday
So you write to an address on a website. Nobody answers, or somebody answers on Monday asking what the budget is, and by then the cut has a different track in it and everybody has lost.
A Phyrne member who licenses a release puts a price list on its page — one price for each kind of use, with its territory and its term. Search the shop for the record or the film, read the list, decide, pay, and the licence is in your inbox.
What you can license
Four kinds, each with its own price
Sync
Film, television, a series, a game, an advert. The rights-holder's terms say how far it goes.
Editorial
Press, publishing, podcasts, documentary, a museum wall. The fast one, bought at four in the afternoon.
Commercial
A brand's own channels, a product, packaging, a shopfront. The territory and the term are stated beside the price.
Venue and performance
A bar, a gallery, a festival, a class. A price for playing the work in a room, for the term stated.
How it goes
Four minutes, and the paperwork is done
-
Pick the licence
Find the release in the shop or its search, and the price list is on its page: the kind of use, with its price, territory, term and terms. The whole release or one track, and what it is for. -
Pay at the counter
Through Stripe, with an email address and a card. The rights-holder is paid out and Phyrne takes its 8% on the way past. -
The licence is issued
A numbered PDF naming the work, the rights-holder, the licensee, the use, the territory, the term and the price, with the terms under it, emailed the moment the payment clears.
-
It stays as you bought it
Whatever the rights-holder changes on the page afterwards, your licence reads exactly as it did the day you paid. The link in the email is your copy.
Clearance
One rights-holder, vetted, and on the record
Every seller is a member a person let in, paid out through their own verified Stripe account, and every published release carries their confirmation that the rights are theirs to sell. The licence names them, not us.
Anything a member would rather discuss — exclusives, national campaigns, unusual terms — is simply not on the price list, and not for sale here. Write to hello@phyrne.app with the release, your project, territory and budget in the first line, and we pass it to the rights-holder for the two of you to settle directly.
I license from Phyrne because the price is on the page and the person who owns the track is the person taking the money. That is two emails I do not have to send and one clearance I do not have to explain.
